Antikink-kink ( $\bar{\rm K} $$ {\rm K}$) collisions in the $\phi^6$ model exhibit resonant scattering although the $\phi^6$ kinks do not support any bound states to which energy could be transferred. In Phys. Rev. Lett. 107 (2011) 091602…
Two-scale homogenization limits of parabolic cross-diffusion systems in a heterogeneous medium with no-flux boundary conditions are proved. The heterogeneity of the medium is reflected in the diffusion coefficients or by the perforated…
Fronts are regions of transition from one state to another in a medium. They are present in many areas of science and applied mathematics, and modelling them and their evolution is often an effective way of treating the underlying phenomena…
Some recent investigations of the thermal equilibrium properties of kinks in a $1+1$-dimensional, classical $\Phi^4$ field theory are reviewed. The distribution function, kink density, correlation function, and certain thermodynamic…
We investigate a two-component reaction-diffusion system with a slow-fast structure and spatially varying coefficients $f_1$ and $f_2$ appearing in the slow equation. Under mild boundedness and regularity conditions on $f_1$ and $f_2$ the…
A free boundary diffusive logistic model finds application in many different fields from biological invasion to wildfire propagation. However, many of these processes show a random nature and contain uncertainties in the parameters. In this…
Recently it has been shown that when an equation that allows so-called pulled fronts in the mean-field limit is modelled with a stochastic model with a finite number $N$ of particles per correlation volume, the convergence to the speed…
In this paper, we introduce a generalized asymmetric fronts propagation model based on the geodesic distance maps and the Eikonal partial differential equations. One of the key ingredients for the computation of the geodesic distance map is…
We explore various models for the pattern forming instability in a laser-driven cloud of cold two-level atoms with a plane feedback mirror. Focus is on the combined treatment of nonlinear propagation in a diffractively thick medium and the…
In the recent years, field theory on non-commutative (NC) spaces has attracted a lot of attention. Most literature on this subject deals with perturbation theory, although the latter runs into grave problems beyond one loop. Here we present…
We investigate a field-theoretical model that describes the interaction between kinks and antikinks and between kinks and other heterogeneous fields and impurities. We show that the long-range kink can tunnel through a barrier created by…
This paper provides a theoretical foundation for some common formulations of inverse problems in wave propagation, based on hyperbolic systems of linear integro-differential equations with bounded and measurable coefficients. The…
The long-ranged elastic model, which is believed to describe the evolution of a self-affine rough crack-front, is analyzed to linear and non-linear orders. It is shown that the nonlinear terms, while important in changing the front…
In the first part of the article, we study one-dimensional noninteracting fermions in the continuum and in the presence of the repulsive inverse power law potential, with an emphasis on the Wigner function in the semiclassical limit. In…
We investigate the nucleation, annihilation, and dynamics of kinks in a classical (1+1)-dimensional Phi^4 field theory at finite temperature. From large scale Langevin simulations, we establish that the nucleation rate is proportional to…
We investigate the Cauchy problem and the diffusion asymptotics for a spatially inhomogeneous kinetic model associated to a nonlinear Fokker-Planck operator. We derive the global well-posedness result with instantaneous smoothness effect,…
We examine the evolution of a vacuum configuration when perturbed by an oscillon. We consider the $\phi^4$ scenario with a single scalar field only. For highly excited oscillons, we find that new composite solutions appear. They are formed…

A wave equation, that governs finite amplitude acoustic disturbances in a thermoviscous Newtonian fluid, and includes nonlinear terms up to second order, is proposed. In contrast to the model known as the Kuznetsov equation, the proposed…
We study the existence and stability of propagating fronts in Meinhardt's multivariable reaction-diffusion model of branching in one spatial dimension. We identify a saddle-node-infinite-period (SNIPER) bifurcation of fronts that leads to…
